"Facial lipoatrophy
is a serious condition that has resulted as a side
effect from antiretroviral treatment of HIV. It
can significantly affect our patients' appearance
leading to a tremendous affect on their psyche and
mood. In addition, it can lead to a loss of confidentiality
of their disease. Over the past several years as
an HIV Specialist, I have come to realize that Facial
Lipoatrophy is of incredible importance to our patients
and that we have to do something about addressing
it. We have participated in a pilot study of Bio-
Alcamid that can correct the affects of Facial Lipoatrophy.
The end result and effect were incredible. The reconstructive
effect was surprisingly positive. The effect of
the treatment on patients' psyche, mood, relationships
and outlook on life was moving."

"Until now, Canadian patients
suffering from facial lipoatrophy have not had a
viable treatment option. Bio-Alcamid is the first
product of its kind that can be used in the large
volumes necessary to restore the fat loss. It is
safe, non-surgical and results are instantaneous.

"Même si mon expérience avec
le Bio-Alcamid est plutôt limitée et récente, les
résultats préliminaires sur mes premiers patients
sont très encourageants. Étant déjà habitué à traiter
la lipodistrophie avec d'autres substances de remplissage,
ce nouveau produit suscite mon enthousiasme, tout
en donnant à mes patients une solution durable à
ce problème si stigmatisant. Leur qualité de vie
en est grandement améliorée, ce pourquoi ils sont
très reconnaissants. Je suis convaincu que le Bio-Alcamid
deviendra la référence dans le traitement de la
lipodistrophie.
"Although I have very little
experience with Bio-Alcamid, the preliminary results
on my first patients are fantastic. Having already
a long experience in the treatment of HIV lipodystrophy
with other fillers, I am very excited by this new
product that gives me and my patients a long lasting
solution to a distressing problem. The quality of
life of my patients is improved dramatically and
for this they are extremely grateful. I'm sure Bio-Alcamid
will become the Gold Standard in lipodystrophy treatment."

"Experience shows that Bio-Alcamid can be customized in lipoatrophy of the cheeks. Both the upper and lower cheeks can be made fuller to restore the former cheek fullness in a natural way."

"Bio-Alcamid is an
excellent treatment option for facial wasting (lipoatrophy).
Bio-Alcamid is easy to apply, non-invasive, and
provides the flexibility of using the large volumes
necessary for correction. My patients love that
it is permanent and shows immediate results."

"I recently had the opportunity
to see the product (Bio-Alcamid) used for correction
of severe facial fat atrophy. It resulted in a full,
soft and natural feeling soft tissue augmentation
- even when volumes of 10-15 cc per side were used.
There is no comparable product or procedure that
can produce this result as easily or reliably. In
my opinion fat injection is now an obsolete procedure."
